Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN 2.0)

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN 2.0) is a standard for business process modelling that provides a graphical notation for specifying business processes in a Business Process Diagram based on a flowcharting technique. The objective of BPMN is to support business process management for both business users and IT specialists by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users yet able to represent complex process semantics. This course is aimed at providing business analysts and others involved in process management and improvement activities with sufficient understanding of the notation and the associated rules to allow them to produce Business Process Diagrams that conform to a widely recognised standard. The benefit to the participant’s organisation will be the in-house capability to create Business Process maps that can be shared and readily understood by all stakeholders, both within and external to the organisation.

Workshop Objectives:

On completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

List reasons for adopting BPMN

Explain the three levels of BPMN use, descriptive, analytical and executable

Explain the similarities with and differences from standard flowcharting techniques

Recognise and explain the basic notation and how this can be used at the descriptive level to create Business Process Diagrams that describe when events and activities happen within a sequence

Apply their understanding of the basic notation to a work place example

Explain the use of BPMN at an analytical level and how the Business Process Diagrams created might be used in quantitative performance improvement projects.
